140. Conan And Mouri Kogoro Both Guessed Wrong?
Mouri Kogoro didn't understand at all: "Since you don't love Mr. Tokura at all, why did you marry him?"
After Etsuko was silent for a moment, she explained the reason: "Just eight years ago, my father's company was about to close down due to poor management. Tokura and my father had been friends for a long time. The requirement that he could help the company tide over the difficulties financially forced me and my daughter, who had just graduated from college, to marry him.
"If the company goes bankrupt, a large number of employees and their families will be implicated, so I married him out of no choice."
Hamura sighed and said: "There is one thing that we found out later. It turns out that the company's poor management was all caused by Daisuke Tokura. He planned it with his power behind the scenes."
Etsuko added: "But when we found out about this, my father's company had long been included in his name, and he threatened that if I dared to divorce, he would bring the company to a standstill."
Wu Fan complained in his heart: "He is really a damn person."
Ran Mouri said in disbelief: "How could this happen?"
Wu Fan said calmly: "The more glamorous some people look, the filthy and dirty they may be in private."
Mouri Kogoro said: "So, if Daisuke Tokura dies, the company in his name can be returned to you in the name of inheritance, so you
Etsuko denied it: "No, that's not the case. Although I hate him very much, we didn't kill anyone!"
Hamura said: "What evidence do you have that can prove that we are the murderers?"
Mouri Kogoro said: "No problem! If you ask that, then I will prove it to you!"
"After you come out of Madam's room, jump from here to the roof of the corridor connecting the study to reach the study.
Conan praised: "Uncle, you did a good job today!"
Mouri Kogoro continued: "So the footprints you left then will definitely remain on the roof now."
However, the roof was clean and there was nothing.
Wu Fan's half-moon eyes looked like: "I knew..."
Mouri Kogoro and Conan were shocked at the same time: "How is it possible? How is it possible that there are no footprints."
Returning to where the body was, Mouri Kogoro took photos of the body.
Conan looked at the body and thought of something: "Wait a minute, after the murder happened, I went to the collection room, and I remember smelling the oil paintings."
At this point, Mouri Kogoro placed the body on the ground.
Conan came closer and found that there was no oil painting smell on the wooden nails.
It seems that the smell of oil painting does not come from the wooden nails.
Mouri Kogoro covered the body with a cloth and said: "I tried to sort out the incident. First, around 8:30, Mr. Tokura went to the study, Mr. Tadokoro, Wu Fan, Xiao Ran and Conan Let's go to the collection room to get the picture. The wooden nail that was the murder weapon was still there at that time, which means that the murderer stole the wooden nail after this period of time."
"Then the windows in the collection room are locked from the inside. This was confirmed by Wu Fan and Xiao Ran. This means that if you want to get to the collection room, you must pass through the living room to get there.
"The next step was Mr. Tadokoro, who sent film negatives and wine to the study.
Tian Suo replied: "Yes, it was around 8:50. I put the film negatives and wine in the study and left.'
At this time, Wu Fan and Conan noticed that the seal on the wine bottle had not been released.
Mouri Kogoro asked: "At that time, did you notice anything strange about Mr. Tokura?"
Tian Suo replied: "No."
Mouri Kogoro continued: "Then you returned to the living room after nine o'clock, and then you went to confirm whether the doors and windows in the villa were closed properly?"
Tian Suo said: "Yes, I think I should be back around ten o'clock."
At this time, the snow outside has stopped.
Mouri Kogoro looked at Etsuko: "A few minutes later, Mrs. Tokura returned to the second floor where she was. It was Wu Fan who helped her, right?"
Wu Fan was afraid that something would happen, so he quickly said: "Yes, she was drunk at the time, so I took care of her for a while, probably about an hour."
0……Please give me flowers0…………
Mouri Kogoro nodded and said: "I remember it was around nine-fifty. It should have been ten-fifty after Wu Fan left, and then he came downstairs around twelve o'clock after the body was found. During this period There was a blank period of more than an hour, which means you had no alibi at that time."
"Mr. Hamura, I remember that you also left the living room and went to the study, right?"
Hamura replied: "Yes, it was around 10:30 when I returned to the living room, and I did not have an alibi at that time.
Mouri Kogoro said: "You have a way to steal wooden nails from the collection room and use them as murder weapons."
"Mr. Doi, you went to the bathroom immediately after Mr. Hamura returned to the living room, right? You were gone for about twenty minutes [these twenty minutes mean you can do it?"
.0
Doi immediately retorted: "But, I didn't go to the collection room at all."
Conan said: "Yes, because Mr. Doi just went to the toilet, and he bumped into Mr. Hamura at that time."
Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized: "I see, and this part of the scene, Mr. Hamura, did you hide the wooden peg on your body at that time, and then Mr. Doi pretended to be hit and accepted the wooden peg."
Wu Fan was a little speechless: "I have been staring at Hamura and Etsuko...
Doi said angrily: "Stop joking, okay? There is no reason why I want to go to Mr. Tokura's death place."
Looking at the aggressive Doi, Mouri Kogoro was forced to keep retreating, and a document bag fell to the ground.
Mouri Kogoro picked it up and was a little confused: "What is this?"
Wu Fan said: "I think this should be the original manuscript."
Mouri Kogoro checked the manuscript and found that the envelope also read "Terror Times Weekly", indicating that this was a novel submitted by readers to Mr. Doi's magazine.
Hamura said: "So, we have a horror novel enthusiasts association in the university. I once heard them say strange rumors that any novel submitted to the horror magazine will have the content of the article stolen by Mr. Tokura. ."
